On Monday, January 20, we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. There will be no school on that day.
Dr. King was a great figure of American and Black history. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped to lead the peaceful fight for African Americans to live with equal rights in the United States through marches, nonviolent protests, and powerful speeches.
